A prion accelerates proliferation at the expense of lifespan

ABSTRACT: Organisms often commit to one of two strategies: living fast and dying young or living slow and dying old. In fluctuating environments, however, switching between these two strategies could be advantageous. Lifespan is often inversely correlated with cell size and proliferation, which are both limited by protein synthesis. Here we report that a highly conserved RNA-modifying enzyme, the pseudouridine synthase Pus4/TruB, can act as a prion, endowing yeast with greater proliferation rates at the cost of a shortened lifespan. Cells harboring the prion can grow larger and exhibit altered protein synthesis. This epigenetic state, [BIG+] (better in growth), allows cells to heritably yet reversibly alter their translational program, leading to the differential expression of hundreds of proteins, including many that regulate proliferation and aging. Our data reveal a functional role for aggregation of RNA-modifying enzymes in driving heritable epigenetic states that transform cell growth and survival.

A prion accelerates proliferation at the expense of lifespan [samples with spike-in controls]

Project description:Manuscript abstract: In fluctuating environments, the ability to switch between different growth strategies, such as those affecting cell size and proliferation, can be advantageous to an organism. Tradeoffs arise, however. Mechanisms that aberrantly increase cell size or proliferation— such as mutations, or chemicals that interfere with growth regulatory pathways—can also shorten lifespan. Here we report a natural example of how the interplay between growth and lifespan can be epigenetically controlled. We find that a highly conserved RNA-modifying enzyme, the pseudouridine synthase Pus4/TruB, can act as a prion, endowing yeast with greater proliferation rates at the cost of a shortened lifespan. Cells harboring the prion grow larger and exhibit altered protein synthesis. This epigenetic state, [BIG+] (better in growth), allows cells to heritably yet reversibly alter their translational program, leading to the differential synthesis of dozens of proteins, including many that regulate proliferation and aging. Our data reveal a new role for prion-based control of an RNA-modifying enzyme in driving heritable epigenetic states that transform cell growth and survival.

Modifications in the T arm of tRNA globally determine tRNA function and cellular fitness

Project description:Abstract: tRNAs are highly modified in the elbow region and harbor 5-methyluridine at position 54 and pseudouridine at position 55 in the T arm, which are generated by the enzymes TrmA and TruB, respectively. Although all elongator tRNAs contain these modifications across all domains of life, the cellular relevance of these modifications and their corresponding modifying enzymes remains elusive. In addition to modifying every tRNA, Escherichia coli TrmA and TruB have both been shown to fold tRNA independently of its modification activity acting as tRNA chaperones, and strains lacking trmA or truB are outcompeted by wildtype. To identify how TrmA and TruB contribute to cellular fitness, we have systematically assessed the effects of deleting trmA and/or trmB in E. coli. Since tRNA folding is a pre-requisite for tRNA aminoacylation, we determined cellular aminoacylation levels revealing a global decrease in aminoacylation for all tRNAs in ΔtrmA and ΔtruB. Moreover, the absence of 5-methyluridine 54 or pseudouridine 55 alters tRNA modification at other positions: whereas acp3U47 is decreased, thiouridine levels are increased. Understanding the importance of TrmA and TruB for tRNA aminoacylation and modification, we then analyzed how these global tRNA changes in ΔtrmA and ΔtruB strains affect translation. Whereas global protein synthesis is not significantly changed in ΔtrmA and ΔtruB, the abundances of many specific proteins are altered, and transcriptomics experiments suggest that the dysregulation of many proteins is controlled at the translational level. In conclusion, we demonstrate that universally conserved modifications of the tRNA elbow are critical for global tRNA function by enhancing other tRNA modifications, tRNA folding, tRNA aminoacylation and translation of specific genes thereby contributing to cellular fitness.

rhSTIP1 induced SAMD1/5 pathway

Project description:Stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1), a co-chaperone that organizes other chaperones- heat shock proteins (HSP), was recently shown to be secreted by human ovarian cancer cells to induce cell proliferation. In neuronal tissues, binding to prion protein was required for STIP1 to activate the ERK (extracellular regulated MAP kinase) signaling pathways. However, in this study, we found that STIP1 stimulated cell proliferation of ovarian cancer via a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, not through the prion-ERK pathway. The STIP1 binding to a BMP receptor, ALK2 (activin A receptor, type II-like kinase 2), was necessary and sufficient to stimulate cancer cell proliferation. The binding of STIP1 to ALK2 activated the SMAD signaling pathway, leading to transcriptional activation of ID3 (inhibitor of DNA binding 3) that promotes cell proliferation. In conclusion, ovarian cancer tissues secrete STIP1 into the local environment and eventually into blood circulation of patients. In an autocrine and/or paracrine fashion, secreted STIP1 stimulates cancer cell proliferation by binding to ALK2 and activating the SMAD-ID3 signaling pathways. Elucidation of the mechanism by which STIP1 stimulates cancer cell proliferation may pave the way for developing novel therapeutic strategies for treatment of ovarian cancer.

A small molecule modulator of prion protein enhances proliferation and engraftment of mesenchymal stem cells and extends their lifespan upon serial passage in culture

Project description:Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) play an important role in the maintenance of bone and blood. Most protocols rely on their in vitro expansion prior to clinical use. However, several groups including our own have shown that hMSC lose proliferation and differentiation ability with serial passage in culture, limiting their clinical applications. Here we show that targeting prion protein (PrP) by chemical intervention delays this process. When PrP expression was knocked down, cultures showed significant reduction in proliferation and differentiation capacity. In contrast hMSC expanded in the presence of small molecule modulator of PrP expression, 3/689, showed extended lifespan up to 10 population doublings. Upon re-plating cultures contained more than double the number of clonogenic progenitors and showed a 10 fold increase in engraftment levels in bone marrow 5 weeks post-transplant. Human MSC treated with 3/689 showed enhanced protection from DNA damage and enhanced cell cycle progression. Gene expression profiling revealed upregulation of superoxide dismutase 2 in cells treated with 3/689, dependent on PrP expression, and suggests increased scavenging of reactive oxygen species as mechanism of action. These data point to PrP as a good target to delay loss of proliferation and differentiation of hMSC with expansion in culture. Gene expression changes in hMSC expanded in the presence of 10uM small molecule modulator of prion protein 3/689 or DMSO were analysed at passage 2 and passage 8 from 3 separate donors.

Modifications in the T arm of tRNA globally determine tRNA function and cellular fitness

Project description:All elongator tRNAs harbor 5-methyluridine at position 54 and pseudouridine at position 55 in the T arm, which are generated by the enzymes TrmA and TruB, respectively. Escherichia coli TrmA and TruB have both been shown to act as tRNA chaperones, and strains lacking trmA or truB are outcompeted by wildtype. Here, we investigate how TrmA and TruB contribute to cellular fitness. Deletion of trmA and truB in E. coli causes a global decrease in aminoacylation and alters other tRNA modification such as acp3U47 and 4-thiouridine. Whereas global protein synthesis is not significantly changed in ΔtrmA and ΔtruB, the expression of many specific proteins is altered at the translational level. In conclusion, we demonstrate that universal modifications of the tRNA T arm are critical for global tRNA function by enhancing other tRNA modifications, tRNA folding, tRNA aminoacylation, and translation of specific genes thereby improving cellular fitness and explaining their conservation.

The Drosophila acetyltransferase chameau (chm) promotes starvation resilience at the expense of a shortened life span

Project description:Proteins involved in cellular metabolism and molecular regulation have been shown to extend lifespan in various laboratory organisms. However, for any improvement in aging to confer an evolutionary benefit, organisms must also be able to survive under non-ideal conditions. Earlier, we discovered that the loss of chm function and reduced activity resulted in several notable effects. Firstly, flies with a loss-of-function allele of chm exhibited an extended healthy lifespan when provided with an unrestricted food supply, indicating that chm plays a role in lifespan regulation. In this study, we demonstrate that these flies also experience a significant reduction in weight and decreased starvation resistance compared to flies with normal chm function. Furthermore, based on observations from transcriptomic, proteomic, and acetylome data, we hypothesize that chm is important for regulating metabolism in Drosophila, particularly in energy storage and utilization. Moreover, we demonstrate that reduced chm activity affects carbohydrate metabolism in flies at the basal level and during changes in nutrient status. In summary, this study suggests that chm is also required for starvation resilience by regulating carbohydrate metabolism, and the previously observed increase in survival time likely accompanies the inability to prepare for and cope with nutrient stress. Finally, as the ability to adapt and survive in a food-restricted environment was likely a stronger evolutionary driver than the ability to live a long life, chm is still present in the organism's genome despite its apparent deleterious effect on lifespan.
